- Dams on Chenab — a target?
India is accelerating construction of multiple hydro projects on the Chenab River, including Pakal Dul, Kiru, Kwar, Ratle, and Sawalkote, with tenders issued to firms like Afcon Infrastructure and Bharat Heavy Electricals. Legal debates question whether Pakistan could target these dams under international law if they are deemed military tools, citing India's water minister's statement denying water flow to Pakistan and the suspended Indus Waters Treaty.
